'lllm slots Ill are 'tdr thepurpose of receir ing tlm tree and of the film which is to low Wound 01.1 the reel. Said end may lae entered siclewise through .51 slot ill and into 0m 0f tlm slotr; ill, and the reel being then rotatewi the teeth 12 engage in the hoieg in the film, and so the film is Wsuncl on the hula, lie-- trvmzil the Siflt? plates 0i: the'reel. When the reel placed in the machine and the film unwound, it will, when the end of the film is reachecl. lift or disengage from the teeth l2, and the and will slip out of the slot 11, Without breaking tor damaging the same.

Therefore in Winding 0r unwinding the film there no necessity :l'or toltiing or tending the eml of the same, in a manner to causa breakage tlmreot and another film can be cmwenirntly placed an the reel, 01' the same film rewmmtl thereon.
